Frequently Bought Together

When you use a WÜSTHOF knife, you can be sure that you are holding one of world’s best kitchen tools in your hand.

Other Knives
Material Premium forged steel engineered for lasting strength and corrosion resistance. Often stamped or made from standard steel blends that may sacrifice durability or rust resistance.
Sharpness 20% sharper than standard knives, thanks to laser-guided PEtec technology. Factory-sharpened blades that start strong but dull faster and lack precision honing.
Craftsmanship Hand-finished in Solingen, Germany with 200+ years of expertise and precision in every detail. Mass-produced or partially outsourced craftsmanship that lacks the same heritage and consistency.
Corrosion Resistance
 Exceptional rust resistance for a blade that stays beautiful for decades. Prone to staining or rust if not carefully maintained—especially with frequent kitchen use.
Edge Retention Stays sharper twice as long as ordinary knives, reducing the need to re-sharpen. Edges wear faster over time, requiring more frequent sharpening and touch-ups.
Limited Lifetime Warranty Limited lifetime warranty – a promise backed by generations of quality. Lifetime coverage may exist, but with less transparency and variable service depending on the brand.

Questions? We Have Answers

What sets WÜSTHOF knives apart from other brands?

WÜSTHOF is one of the few brands permitted to use the label “Made in Solingen” on our knives rather than the less restricted “Made in Germany.” Solingen, Germany is the steel manufacturing capital of the world and, as such, needed to take precautionary measures against fraudulent products bearing the prestigious name, “Solingen.” In 1938, Solingen became the only city in the world whose name is a registered trademark. To bear the name Solingen, all key manufacturing stages must have been processed and finished within Solingen, and the product must meet strict quality standards. This means that even cutlery manufactured entirely within Solingen’s town boundary may not be entitled to bear the name Solingen if it does not meet these required quality standards.

Some of our competitors use the label “Made in Germany,” which does not carry the same significance. We have the honor of labeling our products “Made in Solingen.”

What is Precision Edge Technology (PEtec)

WÜSTHOF’s proprietary state-of-the-art technology incorporates a computer-controlled method for putting the edge on forged knives. Using laser-guided precision, our knives are 20% sharper with twice the edge retention. All forged knives are manufactured using PEtec.

What do the numbers printed on my blade mean?

The number etched on your blade indicates the year it was made — just add “20” in front of it.

In some cases, you might see a second number, which shows the blade length in centimeters.

There is no item number printed on the blade.

Examples:

• “25” means the blade was made in 2025.

• “22 / 20” means the blade was made in 2022 and is 20 cm long.

What is the difference between forged and laser-cut stamped knives?

Forged knives go through over 40 steps in our factory to create the top quality blades WÜSTHOF has to offer. Forged knives include a bolster, which helps to balance the knife. Laser-cut stamped blades go through 14 steps in our factory, and are more economically priced. They are lighter in weight, and do not have a bolster.

What are the most important knives to start a set?

The most important knife in any kitchen is the chef’s knife, and after that, it depends on your own personal preferences when cooking.

How do I keep my knives sharp?

WÜSTHOF knives can be honed and sharpened using a hand-held sharpener, an electric sharpener, a sharpening or honing steel, or a whetstone. We recommend using the same brand sharpener as your knife collection, to ensure that the material used is the correct hardness for the steel on your knives. Our sharpening angle for standard blades is 14˚ per side, and for Asian-style blades (Santokus, Nakiris) is 10˚ per side. We offer a variety of sharpening products with pre-set angles.

Unglaublicher Deutscher Stahl!

"My wife and I are completely blown away by the quality of this knife set. The first time I used them to prepare a steak dinner I taken back by the quality and sharpness of every knife I used. You can absolutely feel the craftsmanship as soon as you hold any of the knives in the block. I've always wanted knives from Soligen and these will be an heirloom set for future generations as well!"

Frank M. (5/5)

Beautiful, well-crafted, and impressively sharp

"I consider myself a chef aficionado—though not certified, I am highly enthusiastic about food and cooking for gatherings of various sizes. Last week, I received my new Wüsthof Classic Ikon 15-piece set, and I am absolutely loving it! I have owned a Wüsthof Pro bread knife for a few years, which influenced my decision to choose the Wüsthof Classic Ikon over the Henckels Zwilling Pro. This new set is beautiful, well-crafted, and impressively sharp. Last weekend, during a small gathering, I showcased my knives to friends and family, demonstrating how effortlessly they slice through bread, meat, and other foods. I also love the wood color and overall quality of the set. These knives are balanced, extremely sharp, and make chopping and cutting a breeze. Even though I am giving this set a 5-star rating, I have a couple of observations. I believe the separation between the knives in the block should be slightly wider. Additionally, there should be a block designed for either a 15 or 16-piece set that does not feature empty holes. The first question everyone asked was whether I was missing two knives. Furthermore, when comparing the handle grip of the Wüsthof Classic Ikon to that of the Wüsthof Pro, I found the Pro more comfortable and secure to handle, particularly when wet. While the Classic Ikon handle is more stylish and modern, the Pro's larger grip felt better to me. Perhaps I will adjust as I continue to use the Classic Ikon. Overall, I am very pleased with my new set. A+! Feel free to send me any products or knives, and I will provide an honest and fair review. Thank you. Walter M."

Walter M. (5/5)

So happy with my purchase!

"Feels comfortable, outstanding quality, perfect balance, and gorgeous. I am so thrilled with my purchase. After doing research on quality knives, I concluded these would be the best. I went ahead and purchased 3 more knives to complete the block plus a cleaver."

Janine P. (5/5)

15 block set

"Knives are fantastic, great feel in hand, extra sharp, very happy with the purchase"

Justin F. (5/5)

Quality is not as expected

"Beautiful wooden block and the knives are also beautiful. My Wusthoff Icon series knives sit next to my Henckels Block in my kitchen. I purchased the Wusthoff because they are stunning and had great reviews. Also, because I needed more knives when a lot of cooking is required for parties, etc. I must say that I was initially disappointed that the feel seemed more flimsy than I had expected at this price point. These Wusthoff knives are clearly thinner than the Henckels that I also own. My real issue is that I was cutting cheese with one of the steak knives and it snapped in half! Thankfully, I did not injure myself. I was shocked that this happened. This is my first such experience, and needless to say, incredibly disappointed with what I had thought would be a truly well-crafted knife set."

Link (2/5)

Beautiful blades but block….

"Beautiful blades, balance and edge amazing, but the block, you’d think when you spend this amount on a set, that the block isn’t just, well it will fit this set. Having 2 extra slots is driving my ocd into overdrive"

Frank D. (4/5)
